Yay

Saddle fitter has been out and fitted Billys new saddle, and its lovvvely!
Have also had our first sidesaddle ride... only at a walk, but its a start

Sunday was our first show of the season and the weather was horrid. We had lots of rain and wind... by the end my fingers and toes were numb and I was wet through. Bills was good and came away with 4 2nds and a forth. He managed to win his round the ring jumping with Kerry, however her really didnt deserve to, as he was naughty... poor Kerry.

Have entered him in the twilight eventing, so sure he will enjoy that. Count down is now on to CHCH show... we do have a few outings before that thankfully!

Well the weather has packed a sad

We have arrived back in Autumn with a thud...


Billy has had a few grass probs so far this season and our riding has been minimal... ha has recently taken on a fence... thankfully he is ok...





We have acquired a wee duckling whose family was wiped out by a car.....



Billys saddle has arrived, fitter out next week, think it needs to be widened slightly... Sidesaddle fitting this weekend as well...YAY!

First show of the season in 2 weeks, and one fat hairy pony...ohhh nooo

Its been a while

Finally spring is here!

I have been keeping busy with lessons both on Billy (jumping) and Cozzy (dressaging, he is Kerry's luffly boy).
Billy has pulled a muscle and that seems to be coming right slowly...
Isky isn't as good as I would like, and I am wondering if she is on her final stretch now =0(.
The grass has taken off, and Billy has lost the plot and is now in lock up, and being fed hay, much to his disgust! Abbie thinks it is great as she gets it all to herself!
Abbs looks to have had a wee grow as well, so hoping she will be up to being broken in after Christmas.
Billy has a saddle coming from the UK, hoping it should arrive at the end of this week... fingers and toes are crossed it will fit!

Another busy weekend.

We had an open home on sat this time, I am so over cleaning!
Then off to a 21st, which made me feel old...

Sunday I took Billy and Abbie to be measured, was a wet and miserable day, but we only had to wait for 2 horses before us, so was super.
Abbs came in at 145.5cm and Billy was 156 cm.

Hopefully I get to ride this week as I have a ride planned at a local pc, and a jumping lesson the weekend after...arghhhh

Busy Weekend.

The cows went to new homes on Saturday,

Loosie loaded in the float beautifully, unfortunately Lexi had other ideas and lay down on the ramp and refused to move.... Red was as usual great, was sad to see them go...

Realestate agents out and a big clean up at home for the open day on Sunday.
Had a ride on Billy bareback, walk to canters are going really well now. He is really laid back and great to ride at the moment... long may it last.
Abbs had a bridle on, and I had a wee cuddle with her while she was lying down.
Both have measuring next week, so fingers crossed that goes ok....

Things are

moving along at home, the cows go to their new homes at the weekend, and have moved them up by the yards.

Have also had a couple of rides on Billy. He was super last night, and thinking really well.. We got walk to canters, and his lateral work was super....
Abbie has settled since Ben has been gone, very happy with that.

We have another open home this weekend, the last one was good with a few groups out.

Paddocks are all harrowed and the grass is growing... cant help but feel like its going to snow soon!
